Take a moment, if you will, and ask yourself a very profound question: What is it that you value the most in your life? Is it your kids? That seems to be the preeminent value in our culture. How about your spouse? We know we should, but sometimes we struggle there. Could it be your reputation or your legacy? I mean, we all want to be loved and respected. So, what is it? This week in our "DTR" talks, we focus on the one true relational posture we are called to have with God. If we are not called to live under/over/from/for Him - what then? This week, we discover the one true treasure, the one and only way you were created to live and function and finally find every bit of purpose and pleasure you have been looking for. This week we look at Life WITH God.

All religions may not lead to the same place, but they are all born out of the same emotions. Over the millennia, man - because he is subject to forces over which he has no power (including his own mortality) - has invented postures for relating to an invented God which would provide him control. If we can control the seemingly random forces of life, then we can allay our deep-seated fears. Yet, these invented and counterfeit postures, or relationships with God, only lead us down paths fo greater fear and, ultimately, great disappointment. This Sunday, we look at how we have incorrectly defined our relationship with God and the damage it has done to us, and we look ahead to what a "With God" life looks like. Are you or a friend tired of the same old religious platitudes that promise life, but only deliver disappointment? Then this is the series for you both. Why not bring them along?

DTR - Week 3 - Sacrifice by Sunday Podcast

On November 28, 2010, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson dropped five passes in a game against the powerhouse Pittsburgh Steelers. The final pass, one he dropped while wide open in the end zone during overtime, wound up costing his team the game. Afterward, Johnson tweeted, "I praise you 24/7!!! And this is how you do me!!! You expect me to learn from this??? How??? I'll never forget this!! Ever!!" For him, and often for us, this is a common experience and disappointment when we relate to God from a "Life Under God" posture. We play by the rules, we go to church, and He comes through for us. Simple, right? Felt the discouragement of God not coming through for you after all you have done? This Sunday, we find out why "Life Under God" never fulfills the promise, which is only experienced by "Life With God!"

Fall Kickoff 2015 by Sunday Podcast

There is nothing worse than being in a relationship with someone, maybe even for a long time, and then suddenly finding out that you define the relationship differently. Is it exclusive? Are you just friends? What if you've wasted the best years of your life on a relationship that turned out not to be what you thought? Heartbreaking if it involves a person. Life altering if it involves God! If you've grown weary of Christianity, maybe the problem lies not in your faith, but in your heart. Is it possible you got the whole relationship wrong? Join us as we kick off our new fall series, "Define the Relationship," where we will unmask the typical Christian cliches that often masquerade as genuine communion with Christ, and understand, perhaps for the first time, how we relate to God. Don't waste the best years of your life in the wrong relationship!
